Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1173 542: Creation No. 5, Out of Control

Zhong Wuwang witnessed this scene, his heart pounding violently: "Only one day left, don't cause trouble!"

The Immortals and Heavenly Dao Practitioners guarding around the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace noticed the anomaly inside the furnace, each filled with doubt and confusion, and immediately an Immortal began to inspect it with his Primordial Spirit.

"What is that black fire?"

Within the Qiankun Creation Furnace, the black fire spread like a drop of ink, rapidly turning other places' flames black as well.

Soon, the entire Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace was engulfed in darkness!

The Immortals and Heavenly Dao Practitioners each activated their Mana, attempting to suppress the black flames, but the flames devoured their Mana, causing the fire to grow even stronger and sweep toward the furnace's world!

Black flames filled the sky, obscuring everything!

Little Dun Fairy's heart leaped with joy: "It's effective!"

Her Phoenix Strange Fire was immensely powerful, one of the strongest Immortal Fires of the Great Shang Era. By invading the furnace, it could surely incinerate and destroy the forming Heavenly Soldiers!

Her Phoenix Strange Fire wasn't originally this fierce, but the collective efforts to activate the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace amplified the fire, creating a sea of Strange Fire.

"My Mysterious Bird Strange Fire is not within the Yin Yang Five Elements; no one at Despair Slope can extinguish my Strange Fire," she thought to herself.

One Immortal shouted, "I will venture inside the furnace, you all protect me!"

He summoned a large bell with his Primordial Spirit, and the bell's body instantly grew immense, with various imprints floating outside its walls, forming a waterfall-like curtain of light.

Within the light curtain, myriad imprints flowed like text, circulating endlessly.

The Immortal used this Immortal Artifact to shield himself, while two other Immortals worked together to slightly lift the lid of the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace, allowing him to fly inside immediately.

Everyone watched him anxiously from outside as his Primordial Spirit plunged into the black flames, looking into the Furnace World. After only a moment, he quickly fled, exclaiming, "Such powerful black flames! Brothers, help me suppress these flames!"

He escaped from the sea of fire, retreating to a place without black flames. Together, the Immortals activated the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace, and a gentle breeze and light rain inexplicably materialized to extinguish the black flames.

His Primordial Spirit flew out of the furnace, and those gathered around hurriedly opened the lid.

He emerged from within, shouting, "Dangerous, so dangerous!"

In just those brief moments, the copper bell had been burnt through with a large hole. Without this treasured protection, he would likely have perished in the sea of fire.

"Fairy Gong, there has been a change inside the furnace!"

The Immortal couldn't afford to inspect his injuries and immediately informed Little Dun Fairy, "After the black flames appeared, the Heavenly Soldiers are forming even faster! At this rate, they could be completed three days earlier than expected!"

Little Dun Fairy was taken aback and said, "Open the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace, I will go inside to take a look!"

The Immortal advised, "The black flames inside the furnace are extremely perilous. If something were to happen while you are overseeing the Sacrificial Refinement..."

"It doesn't matter."

Little Dun Fairy's expression was calm, "Such Immortal Fire is formed when the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace is pushed to its limit. I've made considerable progress in the Creation Technique, which allows me to drive the Immortal Furnace and manifest such flames."

Upon hearing this, the Immortals sighed in admiration, each saying, "In the Creation Technique, we are far inferior to the Fairy."

Two Immortals lifted the gigantic furnace lid, which was thousands of acres in size, with intricate patterns and various strange talismans and mutant beast engravings on it. It required the Primordial Spirits of two Immortals just to lift it slightly.

Little Dun Fairy flew up and floated into the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace.

At that moment, another figure followed suit, entering the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace close behind Little Dun Fairy.

"Zhuang Wujiu! Your cultivation is too shallow, you can't go in!"

The Immortals cried out in alarm, reaching out to grab him, but caught only air.

Little Dun Fairy's voice came from within the furnace: "Fellow Taoists, don't worry. With me here, Wu Jiu won't be harmed."

The Immortals were slightly reassured and looked toward the furnace, only to see Little Dun Fairy bringing "Zhuang Wujiu" to the sea of fire. The black flames seemed very familiar with her, like gentle lynxes rubbing against her skirt without burning them at all.

"Fairy Gong indeed possesses boundless Divine Skills!" the Immortals exclaimed in admiration.

Little Dun Fairy led Zhuang Wujiu into the sea of fire, and their figures were swallowed by the black flames.

Those outside could not penetrate the sea of flames and had no idea what was happening within.

"Hopefully, nothing will go wrong!" they thought to themselves.

Little Dun Fairy took Zhuang Wujiu deep into the sea of fire, saying, "Fifth Uncle, they can't see through the sea of fire. In here, you needn't worry."

Zhuang Wujiu's appearance gradually changed, becoming that of Creation Little Five, who inquired, "Daughter-in-law, where is Little Ten?"

"She is comprehending the Cultivation Technique of the Heavenly Venerate. Why did you follow, Fifth Uncle?" Little Dun Fairy asked.

Creation Little Five responded candidly, "I wanted to see how Gong Wanqing's creations using the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace differ from me. I am a creation too, as are the Heavenly Soldiers. In the past, my father and I entered Despair Slope and were captured by a Heavenly Dao Practitioner. My father reverted me to a puppet and bound me to him, collaborating with Gong Wanqing to study me. Hah!"

He leisurely placed his hands behind his head, saying nonchalantly, "I am a tool created by my father, researched for so long by him and Gong Wanqing. I want to see how the Heavenly Soldiers they developed differ from me."

Little Dun Fairy tilted her head, contemplating but not understanding Creation's thoughts, saying, "Little Ten and I saw the mural you drew on the Copper Long Wall. At that time, grandpa and Gong Wanqing were still on very good terms, smiling happily."

Creation Little Five paused, shaking his head, "I didn't draw that. Back then, I was tied to my father's waist, treated as a treasure for Gong Wanqing's research. How would I have had the chance to run out?"
